Pre-prequel to Holding out for a Hero Zelda is just a princess, forsaken by her people. Link, a silent knight. The pressure of the world on his shoulders. A Great Calamity is soon to be awakened, and they need to work together to defeat it. But how can they do that when they hate each other? (Only rated Mature for some violence)

When Link and Zelda venture under the castle, they find a corrupted Link. After a quick battle, Link is defeated and Ganondorf awakens. Pushing Zelda out of the way, Link falls into the void. With Link gone, who is there to protect Hyrule? Lookout landing is constantly under attack from Dark Link's legion of monsters. Many lives are lost. Hyrule is barely staying alive. With Dark Link on the attack and Ganondorf growing in power, there's nothing left to do but hold out for a Hero. Retelling of TOTK with a few plot twists of my own. Sry I changed the original cover, but I didn't want to get sued, as the cover art was not mine. Book 3 in the Series. (You don't have to read the others first, I would just advise it.)
